Wonder if the two (Esdes and Tatsumi) will met in the next chapter... won't believe if their part of Nightraid...
Those juggernaut thing seems to be a third party opponent...
In any case, Tatsumi already earn the hatred of the loli whose pet ate the scissor girl by killing the one in ch3 and the doctor... albeit unknowingly...
Still wondering why Esdes didn't rape him though... for a complete monster that is...
She's kinda cute when in-love... can't say the same thing in battle...
And what would she do if by chance she foundout about his affiliations with the Nightraid...
Can't wait... hope the tranlation would continue from here on out...

Wonder if this will be considered as a double post... but this thread seems inactive for the moment...
Just as we wonder if they'll meet again in the next chapter then wham!
they meet again... under certain circumstances... in an almost desolated area with third party monsters lurking... and Rabac somewhere out there...
Seems like Tatsumi's good as captured again...
And Esdes sure is cute... in her dere mode...

Yeah, Esdes is awesomely cute when she's in her deredere mode. Her yangire mode is really scary though. Tatsumi's as good as recaptured now, poor guy. He's probably saying "Such misfortune!" in his mind like a certain spiky hair boy.

Anyhow, I've read all 7 translated chapters and I'm really enjoying the manga right now. It's not super unique or, anything in genre, but the characters are likable and there's good chemistry going on between the cast. Tatsumi is pretty nice male lead who isn't incompetent and can actually how his own believability. Lots of good bits of world building about in every chapter along with the right amount of fanservice too.

I don't really mind the gore here either since I have seen much worse like in Claymore.

I am really confused. People are talking about how Esdes fell for Tatsumi or something, but unless I missed something, she's the person who annihilated the northern country and was doing some creepy SM thing to the hero, then kicked his head off.

And someone said the scissor girl died CRAP!!!!

Does Tatsumi ever get a Teigu, btw?

Spoiler for spoilers:

1. Yes, the super SM Esdes who forcefully suppressed the northern tribes and allowed her army to rape (definitely one of the more disturbing scenes in the series) and kill the citizens. In one of the later chapters after her original Big 3 died, she told the minister that she's "trying out" love. She wrote up a scroll of characteristics she wants in her potential love interest. If you've read all the chapters up to that point, you would realize that Tatsumi would fulfill all the characteristics listed. For example, one of the characteristic is "potential to be a General," which alone weeded out 99.9% of the population (and hence made the task of finding someone suitable very, very hard). Interestingly enough, Tatsumi was evaluated before as someone with the potential of a "General" level fighter.

2. Yep..., one of the more heart wrenching moments of the series.

3. Teigu as in one of those super-weapons? Yes. He inherits one from that guy with the Shaman King Ryu hairstsyle. He and that guy were fighting the Big 3 under Esdes. That person died in combat and Tatsumi inherited his weapon, which Tatsumi used to finish off the remaining Big 3. After this, the group was evaluated as suffering too many losses and needed reinforcements (i.e. new characters), whom showed up several chapters later.

1. Someone who above all else values future opportunities. This person will preferably train himself into a General Class fighter.

2. Have guts. Even if he's weaponless, he'll go with me and hunt down dangerous preys.

3. The same as me. He has to be from the borders and not from the capital.

4. I want to work with and support him, so he has to be younger than me.

5. A person with a great smile.

And yep... Tatsumi checks off every one of them.

Thanks a lot whsie! How nice it is to be able to read Japanese. You're my savior for both Mahouka and this one.

Spoiler for Tatsumi's First Encounter with Esdes:

BTW, what did Esdes say in front of Tatsumi and the whole crowd in the arena when she went down to capture him? Did she confess her love in front of everyone, the reaction everyone gave off is really WTF moment I shall remember for the rest of my life.

After Tatsumi won his fight against that Ox head...

Spoiler for Tatsumi's capture:

Tatsumi let out a vibrant smile that made Esdes blush.

Esdes said that she finally found him. Her assistant was like, "You mean a potential candidate?" Esdes said, "Yes, that too, but more importantly..."

She walks down. She complimented Tatsumi, "Tatsumi is it? It's a nice name." Tatsumi thanks her, but when he saw her, he couldn't help but think of his bro. Esdes said that Tatsumi fought brilliantly and that she'll give him an award. Tatsumi thought she was giving him money or something of monetary value. He thought to himself, money is money. Mind as well take it.

Latest couple of chapters got a bit too shounen, so i'm glad to know it doesn't last in the long run. Even if the price was being spoiled like hell

Whsie's post are pretty tempting to look at, but I would rather keep knowledge of future events to minimum if possible IMO. From my observation of this series on various forums, it's one of those that get spoiled really easily.

BTW I do have some minor questions though:

Spoiler for :

Is the girl that Akame saw in Zank's illusion her sister? Is she still alive?

From what I saw from the other volumes, yes she's alive. And you probably won't be surprised where she ended up.
